The Su-27 is a 40 years old plane. It was made for Cold War. But today it is only useful in the air defence role. It can't survive in areas, which are covered by modern air defence systems.

Somewhere over Vietnam

Somewhere over North Vietnam.

SitRep: Most of the tiles are now on the new standard. Still to do are the coastal tiles and the city river tiles. I hope i can do this tomorrow. The problem of my very first terrains are "potholes" in the landscape. To cure this will need some time. But i hope i can release a first Beta version of DRV 2.0 terrain on sunday.

Over North Vietnam.

I started a small update of the DRV terrain to bring it on SF2 standard and give it a better tileset. WIP Screenshot shows old and new tiles. The new tiles i have taken from Rio de la Plata terrain. They are basing on Green hell tileset.

What if Germany would have used the Tornado F.3.

Yesterday i was playing with the TFD tool to improve my USAMichigan terrain. My Anti-Virus scanner AVIRA started to a routine quick scan. Suddenly the window of the TFD tool disappeared and a restart of the tool was not possible. I was searching a while till i found the reason. Avira had the opinion, that the TFD tool would be a virus, stopped it immediately and moved it into quarantine. And what i have learned: If i'm working with the TFD tool and the Anti-Virus scanner starts, then i must close TFD as fast as possible.

It is the 170m Shelter. I have moded it a little bit with a hexeditor. In the original file the roof skin should be HangarA-2.bmp or Ind_Roof1.bmp.

Small discussion over Sokotra island.

"Tower, this is Ghostrider, requesting a flyby!" "Negative, Ghostrider! .... WTF!!!!!" BTW. If you are looking for "Super" on this screenshot: The Super Etendard are on board of the argentinian carrier.

I'm working on Aurora Municipal Airport. And i have a small problem. This airport was reconfigured in the early 2000th. Some of the old taxiways were removed and new taxiways were build some meters beside. So i made the old airport and it looks so: For the new shape of the airport i must remove the long taxiway a little bit to left, to bring it in a staight line. Thatswhy i added the entry Target[008].EndYear=2003 in the targets.ini Then i added the new taxiway with the additional entry Target[052].ActiveYear=2004 The funny, or not so funny thing is, that ActiveYear is working properly, but EndYear not. The result looks so: The new taxiway is so as it should be, but the old taxiway is still there. Has someone an idea, how to solve this problem?

Take off from Gary/Chicago International Airport. (WIP)

Here the static planes at Midway Airport in game I made a new tile with an university complex. I think it is an university with baseball field and two sports arenas. But the color does not fit with the other tiles. Perhaps i can fix it with some paintshop work.

Screenshot of the targeteditor. Part of Chicago Midway Airport with static planes Ups, one of the 727 (red stripes) is not on the correct position. I have to fix it.

A placed static planes, which are made by JimBib, at this airfield. I use DC-9 and Boeing 727 for it. I placed this aircraft at the position, which is seen in the sat picture, which i used for make the airport tile. Screenshot: Cicago/Gary Airport with buildings.

Chicago Midway Airport with buildings, nearly finished. Chicago Gary Airport, only skeleton, buildings will come later.
